91. Chapter 91
On the 5th of May, the sky was clear, and dragon boats and boats of different sizes and colors were moored on the rippling blue river. The figures on both sides of the strait are building, the fragrant wind is blowing, and the silver hairpin is shining.
"Fourth brother is there." The excited three girls pulled Jiang Yaoguang and pointed at it.
Jiang Yaoguang looked at her hand, and saw Jiang Shao, dressed in short brown, standing on the bow of the boat, waving his right hand at them, revealing eight teeth.
"Eh!" The third girl bumped into Jiang Yaoguang and squeezed her eyebrows, "Who is that next to you?" ā
Jiang Yaoguang glanced at her.
Seeing that her face did not change, the third girl read, "It's boring." ā
Jiang Shaojin elbowed Shi Fan behind him, raised his eyebrows, "You have to show yourself well later, it's a shame to lose, my fifth sister is watching from the shore!" ā
According to the convention, the children of unmarried elites can call friends to form a team to participate in dragon boat races, which is also an opportunity for them to express themselves.
Shi Fan leaned back slightly, and sneered, "Last year, my team won, but have you raced a dragon boat in Qufu for so many years?" ā
He said so well that Jiang Shaojin, who only entered Beijing last summer, found himself speechless.
Shi Fan patted him on the shoulder, "Take a good look, Miss Luo is watching you." ā
Jiang Shaojin scolded with a smile, he came from the third room of the Jiang family, because his father couldn't find a suitable marriage, his parents let him enter Beijing, asked his grandfather and uncle to help him see each other, and set the Luo family girl at the beginning of the year.
"Let's go over and cheer up the fourth brother?" The three girls mentioned yƬ.
Jiang Yaoguang looked at her with a smile, "Fourth brother? ā
The three girls blushed and took a sip of her.
"When you win, you can go over and say hello!" Jiang Yaoguang raised his chin, "Your Majesty is coming." ā
The three girls took a look, and sure enough, they saw the bright yellow flag fluttering in the distance.
The two hurriedly returned to the viewing platform, and as soon as they sat down and took a sip of tea, the little yellow door that opened the road sang, "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, the prince has arrived, the princess has arrived, the princess has ......arrived, and the princess has arrived."
Everyone on the stage bowed to greet them.
After the dressed royal family made their way through the crowd to the main seat, the emperor raised his hand, "All the ministers are flat!" ā
Only then did everyone get up in thanks.
Jiang Yaoguang, who was seated, raised his eyes and felt that the emperor was a little fatter than at the time of the Shangyuan Festival, and the dragon robe was bulging, and he couldn't see his waist at all. The emperor is nearly fifty people, and being fat is not a good sign, and then I think of this emperor's temperament, I heard that a while ago, he paid a private visit to Weifu, and brought a girl into the palace. Jiang Yaoguang really pinched a handful of sweat for his body.
"Who does Tong'er think will win this year?" The Emperor leaned over and softened his voice.
Who else can make the Ninety-Five Zun speak so softly, except for the queen of the dynasty.
The queen wearing a phoenix crown and a red gold embroidered phoenix robe is really a charming city, like a painting.
"The concubines don't have any brothers to participate, so what does it matter to me who wins."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, and the voices next to him gradually faded away.
Some people couldn't help but look at the emperor's expression.
The Emperor smiled, but was not annoyed.
Jiang Yaoguang glanced at it and retracted his gaze, and said in his heart, looking at the emperor's appearance, he is obviously accustomed to it, I am afraid that he has been choked like this in private not once or twice, but the emperor is still indulgent and pampered by the queen, which shows that the emperor is still very empress. Such a young and beautiful queen, it's hard to dislike it, no. The emperor has many concubines, but there is really no one who can compare with the queen in appearance, anyway, she has never seen it. Thinking about it again, there is such a big beauty on the side, the emperor still wants to hunt for beauty, and the beauty loses her temper, which is also right.
The emperor smiled, "Just guess it's fun, this time I came out to let you relax, if you don't have fun, wouldn't it be a toss in vain." ā
The cold color on the queen's face melted slightly, and her gaze at him was a little complicated.
The emperor was overjoyed, and said softly, "Otherwise, I will add a colorful head, if you guess correctly, I will allow you to leave the palace every other month, I know that you are bored in the palace." ā
The queen was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.
Mo said that the queen, everyone who heard the emperor's words was shocked, except for the queen concubine who went out of the palace with the emperor, how could she have a precedent for her own to leave the palace.
Many people quietly deepened the emperor's favor for the empress in their hearts.
The queen pursed her lips, showed a light smile, and got up to thank her, "Concubine......"
Halfway through the words, he was held by the emperor, holding her hand and laughing, "It's happy, which team do you think will win?" ā
The queen was in a bad mood and didn't care, so she didn't know who there was, so she could only point to a team indiscriminately.
The emperor laughed, "If you lose, Tong'er shouldn't cry." ā
The queen frowned, looking a little nervous.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived." The eunuch who didn't dare to miss the auspicious time reminded him head-on.
The queen withdrew her hand and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, go quickly." ā
Before the dragon boat race, you should ask the dragon and worship the gods. Today, the emperor is here in person, and it is naturally the emperor who presides over it. After the ceremony, after a gong, the dragon boat race began, the dragon boat that was ready to go jumped out like an arrow from the Xuan, you chased me to catch up, for a time the waves on the river were blooming, accompanied by the endless beating of gongs and drums, shouting and cheering.
The people on the viewing platform also looked at each other, and the young master and girl left the table unconsciously, cheering on the railing.
The third girl leaned in Jiang Yaoguang's ear and muttered, "Do you say that those people on the boat know about the bet between Majesty and Niangniang, and do you know who Niangniang pressed?" ā
Jiang Yaoguang looked at the hot river and said softly, "How could you not know!" You see, the leader is about to appear. ā
The three girls turned their heads to look, and silently turned their faces to look at Jiang Yaoguang.
"Those who know the times are handsome." Jiang Yaoguang said with a smile. Knowing that the emperor wants to make the queen happy, he lacks a lot of heart and eyes to work against the emperor, and those who are qualified to sit here are all human spirits, and they have already passed the news to their own children, nephews and relatives.
The third girl snorted, "It's really boring! ā
"There is no suspense about the first place, so you can look at the second place."
Thinking about it, the three girls cheered with great interest, especially after finding that Jiang Shaojin and their team had the advantage.
Affected by the atmosphere, Jiang Yaoguang also drew a pennant to cheer up, and after Jiang Shaojin and they rushed to the finish line, they happily high-fived the three girls.
The queen won, the queen smiled, and the happiest was the emperor, and he also summoned the leader's team.
Seeing that the eldest princess of Taiping's eldest grandson, Yu Yujie, was even more happy, and said to the queen, "You saw that Yujie was on that boat, so you pressed them?" "Yu Yujie's mother is the queen's aunt.
The queen curled the corners of her mouth as a default.
The emperor praised and rewarded all Erlang, and praised Yu Yujie emphatically, "You have your grandfather at a young age, not bad." ā
The childish teenager was not excited by the compliment, and showed a smile that was just right.
Seeing this smile, the queen's heart was sour, and her face showed a little bit.
When the emperor saw this, he was amazed.
The queen smoothed it out and said quietly, "Back then, he followed me with a cousin, and he didn't want to be taller than me in a blink of an eye." ā
The emperor couldn't help but be amused when he heard her tone, "Children, they always grow the fastest." Changing the subject, "You haven't swam in Chengjiang since you entered the palace, so I'll accompany you to the lake today?" ā
The queen looked at his flattering face and said softly, "Thank you, concubine." "She has never been as flattering and flattering to the emperor as others but she can sit firmly in Yikun Palace, her beauty and family background are indispensable, but the most important thing is that she knows what it means to stop in moderation, no matter how good the emperor's temper is, he is also the respect of the Ninety-Five.
The overjoyed emperor hurriedly took the queen and left.
As soon as the emperor and queen left, it was as if the moon was breaking through the clouds on the viewing platform, and they became cheerful.
After the dragon boat race, it is time to swim in the lake, and the women are self-conscious, and the girls do not have so many scruples, and they start to play in groups of boats.
The Jiang family's boat had been prepared a long time ago, and Jiang Yaoguang and the three girls were about to invite their friends, and they didn't want their friends to want to come over.
Shi Chuyun took her hand and said softly, "Sister Yaoguang, is the Dening family's boat just built this year, or is it the first time to use it, and the style is very different from that in Beijing, shall we go and visit?" ā
Chen Dening said gently and gently, "I also invited a lot of girls to come over to play, Wanting is also there, Miss Jiang San and Miss Jiang Wu are willing to come and join in the fun." ā
Everyone said so, Jiang Yaoguang and the third girl naturally would not refuse again, they were all in a circle, and they didn't look up and see each other.
The group walked to the shore, Jiang Yaoguang looked at it, the bow of the Chen family's ship was high, the stern was high, huge and powerful, and there were heavy eaves pavilions on the deck with exquisite carvings, which were solid and beautiful.
"It's really chic." The three girls said novelly.
"My fifth uncle is a merchant in Zhigu, and this ship is modeled after the Fanbang people." Chen Dening explained.
Jiang Yaoguang remembered that the fifth master of the Chen family was a good businessman and left home at a young age, and was scolded by the old man Chen for insulting the family, but he moved gold and silver mountains to his home, and he was a concubine, but no one said anything.
After getting on the boat, I found that there were already many people on the deck, who were not acquaintances but also familiar with each other, and some ladies came one after another.
A group of young girls gathered together, enjoying the scenery of the water, listening to the piano, and the wine and food, so comfortable.
During this period, because of the unique style of the Chen family's boat, it attracted many people. Especially the young people with a budding spring heart, where there are many girls, the teenagers gather like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers, at this time, the etiquette will be more relaxed, and most of the people who can get close to it are related to a girl on the boat, and it is nothing to put on the boat.
Looking at the shy and timid little girl, Jiang Yaoguang couldn't help but laugh, especially when she found that the third girl was also one of them. The strong hormones made Jiang Yao, who was a little dizzy after drinking a few glasses of fruit wine and blowing the river breeze, discouraged her, and planned to take a good look at the ship when everyone was gathered on the deck, and met a few girls who probably had similar thoughts to her along the way, because they were not familiar, they looked at each other and smiled before parting.
"Miss Jiang," the maid trotted up, "Miss Lu is waiting for you in Linjiangfang, saying that she wants to play chess with you." ā
Jiang Yaoguang smiled, "I said that Ming'er would accompany her, but she couldn't wait for this moment." Forget it, I want to take a break anyway. ā
The little maid walked ahead and led the way.
After a while, Jiang Yaoguang looked up at the plaque in front of the door, thinking that the Chen family was good enough to have Yaxing, and even named the house on the ship.
The little maid pushed open the door, raised her hand and said, "Girl, please." ā
Jiang Yaoguang paused for a moment, and suddenly felt cold and forced the drunkenness away, she helped her forehead and took a few steps back.
With two pops, Dan Mei and Qing He fell to the ground unconscious.
Caught off guard, Jiang Yao's shoulders and neck were sore, and his eyes were dark.
